There are those who say that interest in pre-war cars is waningand#44; but this 1930 Model A will always have a readyand#44; willingand#44; and enthusiastic audience waiting for it. Loaded with virtually every accessory availableand#44; this well-sorted roadster is ideal for touring and looks like a far more substantial and expensive car than it is. The jaunty color combination gives this Model A a flashy look without being too obvious about it. The high-quality restoration is holding up pretty welland#44; even though the car has been driven and enjoyedand#44; and the look is one that attracts attention everywhere it goes. The contrasting black fenders and belt moldings give it a detailed look that belies its humbleand#44; affordable statusand#44; and while it is definitely showing some signs of ageand#44; it looks quite presentable going down the road and at casual shows. Accessories include a grille guardand#44; wind wingsand#44; step platesand#44; and dual taillights that are an important safety upgrade. Out frontand#44; theres a Boyce Moto-Meter to monitor coolant temperature and the spare tire carries not only a tidy coverand#44; but also uses an accessory protector between the bumpers to give it a finished look. Henry Fords rustless steel looks great and shines up easilyand#44; protecting the headlights and grille so theyll look this good practically forever. The brown leatherette interior also accurately duplicates the factory lookand#44; with wide pleats and plain door panels that are ideal for the back-to-basics roadster. All open cars got a rubber mat up frontand#44; and the hard rubber steering wheel was universaland#44; too. More stainless steel forms the simple center instrument panel thats recently been buffed to a great shine. A black vinyl top isnt exactly correctand#44; but it fits well and the black contrasts nicely with the bodyworkand#44; and the rumble seat area has been upholstered to match the interior. Its actually quite comfortable back there once you master the climbing partand#44; and with the top downand#44; the Model A looks quite sporting. Even with the top upand#44; the rear window can be opened so you can carry on a conversation with the folks in the rumble seat. Mechanicallyand#44; every Model A passenger car was identicaland#44; with the same 40-horsepower 200 cubic inch inline-four. Thanks to a generous torque curve and a playfuland#44; tossable natureand#44; the Model A feels quick on the road and will happily cruise at 45 MPH. This one has been rebuilt to specand#44; keeping its 6-volt electrical system and generatorand#44; plus the flat copper spark plug leads that are a Model A trademark. It fires quickly with just a little tweaking of the choke and settles into that instantly-recognizable Model A idle. The engine bay isnt exactly prettyand#44; but the way this Model A runs and drives will reassure you that it has definitely been maintained by an expert. The 3-speed manual transmission requires a quick double-clutch between gearsand#44; but its easy to master and the equipment is durable enough not to mind while you practice. Braking is decent for a mechanical system and the suspension feels downright agile compared to most of its peersand#44; making this roadster a very enjoyable car on the road. Six correct straw-colored wire wheels have been fitted with 4.75-5x19 wide whitesand#44; giving the humble little Ford a very upscale look indeed. A handsomeand#44; fun carand#44; the Model A roadster remains near the top of every Ford fans wish list. If you like to driveand#44; this is a great choice. Call today! |
